Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday

Happy Saturday everyone!!! We are getting ready for some college football here in Tuscaloosa, AL!! Our National Champs take the field at 6pm tonight. Needless to say our city will be full of crimson and white and all things BAMA! If you didn't see the card I created for the event, please scroll down to the previous post and let me know what you think.

On to this week's challenge at SSDS! This week, as the air gets a little cooler (even down here in BAMA) we are getting ready for the Christmas season a little early. I love Christmas challenges because they force me to get ahead on my Christmas crafting. If you're like me, you need to get ahead as much as possible!!! We want to see anything Christmas this week. We have a great sponsor, Wags n' Whiskers!!! Be sure to check out the Wags n' Whiskers store to see all the images. The winner will receive 4 digis of their choices.


For my card I used this beautiful poinsettia image from Beccy Muir! I colored two images using my copics and cut pieces of one and added them with dimensionals to add depth. Between the shading and the pop up feel of the flower, it is one of my favorite flowers that I've created. The patterned paper is a mystery since it came out of my scraps file (don't you love using up scraps). The rest is cardstock and ribbon. Easy peasy!

So, get the Christmas spirit and get creative. We'd love to see what you create at SSDS.

P.S. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

It's time for some Football!!!

We are geared up and ready for some Alabama football this Labor Day weekend. Our National Champions will be taking the field tomorrow night at 6:00. All I can say is ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

In recognition of this southern tradition, I decided to make a card to go along....

Catching Up - Part 1

Having computer issues is so terribly frustrating!!! However, I am managing to make it work....inconvenient as it may be. Oh, the things we do for that which we love (in this case, scrappin'!!!)
So, in order to get caught up (for today anyway), I am making three posts tonight. If you are able to view all of them thank you for doing so!! It is much appreciated.

Better late than never!!! This week's challenge at Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle Saturday is to create a "Get Well" or "Good Luck" project. This week we have Digi Doodle Shop as our wonderful sponsor. Be sure to stop by Digi Doodle to see all of their fabulous images. The winner will receive a $10 Gift Certificate to Digi Doodle Shop! They also offered all of the design team images to play with so we want to send a BIG Thank You to them!!!

I decided to create a Get Well Soon cards with this adorable blueberries image from Digi Doodle Shop. I really enjoyed trying out some shading techniques with my Copics...even if it didn't turn out perfect! I used blue and white cardstock for this card. I embossed the white cardstock with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder (my fave!). I added the ribbon and used a Kaiser rub on for the sentiment. I love the way it turned out!


You have until Friday at midnight to get your "Get Well" or "Good Luck" project in. Don't forget that Digi Doodle Shop is giving away $10 to the random winner!!!

Meljen's Challenge #21 - Brown, Teal and Orange

Happy Thursday everyone! I am sooo frustrated with my computer issues!!! A couple of weeks ago my desktop decided to die. Thankfully, I had been a good girl and backed up all of my pictures and scrappy goods onto the external hard drive regularly. But, we are unable to get it fixed for a while so I am using our trusty standby....the laptop. The laptop is great....I can still get online... I just can't upload photos, scan photos, print photos, or anything else except look at photos. I have to take my camera to my mother's and upload the photos! No fun....well, at least she only lives across the street!!LOL!
Okay, so sorry to vent! On to my card ~ I finished this card several days ago. When I saw the challenge come up at Meljen's, I had just the perfect Pebbles, Inc. paper in mind! I was so excited to get this paper out...I haven't used it since last year! I printed (at my mom's house) this cute cup fellow (also Meljen's) and colored him with Copics. I used this week's SFYTT sketch! I added a couple of flowers, rhinestones and a rub on from Kaiser. I think it turned out really cute. Thanks for looking!

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday

Happy Saturday everyone! Getting used to being back at school has really affected my scrappy time, but I hope to change that this weekend! I plan on getting at least a couple of scrappy things done! The first on the list is this weeks card for SSDS. The challenge this week is to use Kraft. I really haven't created that much with kraft so this was a fun challenge for me!!

I started by printing this beautiful bride digi from Sassy Studio Designs (Our awesome sponsor this week!) I colored her with copics and cut her out with my CM cutting system. I inked the edges with brown ink then with chalk. For my paper I used kraft and light green cardstock with a velum overlay. I used my most fave border punch and stuck it all together. The sentiment is Studio G. The picture is terrible, I know. I'm dealing with computer issues and having to use my laptop which doesn't have my fab photoshop!


This week we have the fabulous Sassy Studio Designs as our sponsor. I love the Sassy images. Be sure to stop by the Sassy Studio to see all the fun images they have. The winner will get 4 digis of their choice from Sassy Studio Designs.

Don't forget to stop by and see what the other DT members created! We'd love to see what you can do with kraft!!!
